Player Updates

Betts is being listed as day-to-day after a CT scan on his wrist revealed no structural damage, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.

This is great news for Betts and the Red Sox, as the star outfielder is simply dealing with inflammation. While Tuesday's tests confirmed he avoided a potentially more serious injury, Betts is apparently still dealing with a bone bruise on his right thumb from a collision at first base last week, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Red Sox give him a day or two off with the division crown already locked up and the playoffs rapidly approaching. Chris Young should see the majority of starts in right field if Betts continues to miss time.

Better (wrist) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Scott Lauber of ESPN.com reports.

Betts was removed from Monday's game with wrist pain, and while the issue isn't expected to be anything overly serious, it will keep him out for Tuesday's contest. He's expected to have his wrist examined Tuesday, after which there will hopefully be a clearer idea regarding the severity of the ailment. In the meantime, Chris Young will start in right field and bat second in his stead.

Betts was removed from Monday's game for precautionary reasons but will get his left wrist examined Tuesday, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

Betts hasn't been able to explain the wrist pain he felt during Monday's game. The Red Sox haven't made any indications that it's serious, but Betts's status for Tuesday should be considered questionable until the doctors are able to get a look at him.

Betts left Monday's game in the eighth inning with left wrist pain, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Betts was 2-for-3 with two RBI before he was lifted for Andrew Benintendi. There's a chance this was just precautionary, considering the Red Sox have their division crown wrapped up; consider him day-to-day until he's evaluated by team doctors.

Betts went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

In the month of September, Betts is looking like the impact player he was during the entirety of 2016. His eighth-inning, bases-clearing double tied Sunday's game before he raced home from second base on an infield single to give Boston the lead. It was the second time on Boston's road trip that he cleared the bases with a double -- he also did it Monday in Baltimore -- to cap comeback wins. He's hitting a modest .273 over the month of September, but has slugged .583 with five home runs, 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBI over 20 games.
